OHSU Healthcare Stats 2016 fiscal year

OHSU includes two hospitals (OHSU Hospital and OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital) and numerous medical practices that are located on Marquam Hill, at the Center for Health & Healing, at the South Waterfront and in several neighborhoods in the Portland metro area.

In addition, OHSU partners with other clinical operations, managed by a joint management company, OHSU Partners. The affiliation combines the finest attributes of an academic health center with the best traits of a community hospital system, providing a complete range of services that no single health system could provide on its own.
